The problem
The driver's side air bag was improperly assembled and could cause the air bag warning light to illuminate from increased electrical resistance.
The risk
An increase in the electrical resistance might prevent the air bag from activating during a vehicle crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the air bag assembly wiring harness connector to determine if it contains a terminal holder. If it does not, one will be installed.
